Machado will sit Friday against the Dodgers, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Machado missed nine straight games with an ankle issue before returning to action Thursday, going 1-for-4 with a double and three strikeouts. The Padres seemingly don't want him starting on back-to-back days immediately after his return, so it will be Ha-Seong Kim who starts at third base Friday.
